2020 Map of Triguero Lake

About this map

Bruneau Canyon dominates this arid landscape of southern Owyhee County, where the Bruneau River carves a deep, winding path through high desert plateaus. This recent survey illustrates the geographic isolation of the region, defined by the expansive J-P Desert to the west and the Diamond A Desert to the east. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, from the low waters of Triguero Lake to the secluded Black Rock Pocket in the south. The sparse human footprint is visible only through the Rowland Rt Rd and a few drainage features like Sheep Cr and Long Draw. This sheet captures the Owyhee backcountry in its modern state, serving as a vital reference for understanding the water sources and ranching routes that persist in one of the most sparsely populated corners of the state.
